This is a national campaign, but it is designed chiefly to help pro mote local celebrations and to aid in raising of funds for local use. Seventy cents of each dollar raised will be retained by the community in which the Birthday Ball is given Senator and Mrs. J. J. Dorn left Saturday night for Flemington where the senator went to appear as a prosecution witness in the trial of Bruno Richard Hauptmann for the kidnaping and murder of the Lindbergh baby. Mr. Dorn was ex pected to testify as to the identity of the lumber in the kidnap ladder which the prosecution contends was used in the execution of the crime and carried with him numer ous exhOnts, intfodlng specimens of lumber from his yards and sales records. Investigation by United States Government officials has disclosed that the lumber used in the ladder was finished and shipped from the yard at McCormick operated by the senator and his brother, M. Gary Dorn. Since the Dorns have exten sive lumber interests through the state and in Georgia it was impos sible to determine the exact county and state from which the actual 1 lumber came. The Cotton Outlook ECONOMIST SUMS UP SITUA TION 'AS *rO, SUPPLY, DE MAND, AND CARRY-OVER \ CLEM8<5n! COLLEGE, Jan. 19.— A world supply of 20.3 million bales of American cotton for the 1934-35 season, a total consumption of American cotton of about 12 mil lion bales, and a probable carry over on August 1, 1935, of a little more than eight million bales— these facts and figures stand out in the cotton outlook statement of O. M. Clark, extension economist. “The world supply of American cotton”, says Mr. Clark, “is down more nearly to the average for the 10 years ending in 1930, namely, 18.5 million bales. The present season’s supply is about 4.5 million bales less than last season’s and 5.7 million less than the very high supply of the 1931-32 and 1932-33 seasons. Keiiobotli JNcws This season’s supply of Ameri- can cotton Is made up of an esti- j for the i 0 " y i" i' 9 5-24 to mTsIT decided that the reduction will be 25 per cent with an additional five per cent optional or a total possible reduction of 30 per cent, from the base acreage. -> • “The base acreage of who signed reduction contracts is approximately 38,210,000 acres. Pro ducers who did not sign contracts planted about six million acres in 1934. Those of this group who are eligible may sign contracts effec tive in 1935. If contract signers plant about the acreage which they win be permitted to plant and pro ducers who do not have contracts do not change their acreage ma terially from that of 1934, the to tal acreage planted in 1935 will be about 34.5 or 35 million acres. With average yields this acreage will give a total production of about 12 million bales. “The total world consumption of American cotton in the 1933-34 season was 13,539,000 bales was a reduction from the season before but was larger than any season except 1932-33 since 1928-29 r and was larger than the average The Home Demonstration Ciu’% ield the first meeting in 1935 i't he home of Mrs W.

If the tota' consumption of American cotton during the year is around 12 mil lion bales, it is evident that with a supply of 20.3 million bales the car ry-over on August 1, 1935, will be a little more than eight million bales.” The Young’s H.
